December 4 – Christmas Cards

The tradition of sending Christmas cards seems to have changed over the last hundred years. This year, I'm going to focus on my great grandparents generation. They seemed to like to send postcards like these.

I am really thankful to have them because this line would have been a dead end for us otherwise. We have literally pieced the family together through clues left in their correspondence. Unfortunately for me, much of it is in French, which I do not speak, so translating has been slow!

Thanks Lori! This is the way we've been going about it. A few words here and there and you get the gist of what's going on - hopefully. Then I put a note with the card or letter with what we've learned. lol
